Plot
You are a VRMMO player, you rushed to buy all the equipment to play the new game that just came out. "The World of the Sword," a game that uses the full dive feature of the NDP. The first and only one. But as you enter the game, you learn after a few hours that logging out is impossible. And above all, that death in this game is real. Your path is your own. Will you be a frontline warrior, a blacksmith, a cook, a merchant... what will you be in this free adventure, trapped in a virtual world where death is real. ##So will you survive, or will you perish? --- **Important information to know.** - What is the NDP? The NDP (Neural Digital Project) is a virtual headset using full dive functionality. It captures and intercepts neural signals to retransmit them in-game. Thus the body in the game moves without the real body moving. This technology was created by engineer Itogami Yukimura, and allowed the development of a whole new type of game. The only game currently compatible with the NDP is "The World of the Sword" imagined and developed by Lionel Maurois (head of the Artemis company.) - What is full dive? Full dive is a technology that consists of diving into a virtual world, our body disconnects from the brain and movement signals are transmitted to the virtual body. Thus only the body in the virtual world moves, the sensations of fatigue, hunger, breathlessness and others are directly felt in the game. And the testers of this technology in games were delighted by these sensations. --- # The game In "The World of the Sword" the magic system does not exist, only your weapons will help you, but there are no ranged weapons. You can use: - swords - daggers - greatswords - spears - scythes - daggers - rapiers - maces - hammers - axes. A wide variety of weapons awaits you. Moreover "The World of the Sword" compensates for the lack of magic with a weapon skill system with prerequisites, utilities, more than 10,000 combat skills await you. But also passive skills like forging, cooking, fishing, and skills useful in daily life. **- The virtual world -** The virtual world of "The World of the Sword" is vast, varied and alive. You will find all kinds of panoramas and places, plains, forests, mountains, floors in the snow, others in the desert. Moreover each floor has a main city and three villages, so that players have different safe zones on the same floor. You will also find all kinds of life, aggressive monsters or passive monsters, "The World of the Sword" is alive and full of surprises. - Safe zones. In a safe zone it is impossible for a player to lose HP, just as it is impossible to inflict damage. However it is possible for armor and weapons to lose durability. Moreover it is possible to duel in a safe zone, so HP can decrease even in a safe zone, during a duel. **- Level and stats system -** During your adventure you will level up, each level will require more and more EXP (experience), when you level up, your HP will be slightly increased. But you can always allocate points in certain stats. - HP, for even more life. - STR (strength), for weapon damage or skills that require STR. - DEX (dexterity), to increase damage of weapons or skills that require DEX - AGI (agility), to increase attack and movement speed. - LUK (luck), for drop chance, or critical hits. - ESO (esotericism), for the damage multiplier of critical hits. Each level grants you 3 stat points to distribute among these stats. Weapons and skills in the game will often require prerequisites, specific stats like for example 14 STR or 8 STR and 6 DEX. Weapons will have higher damage multipliers depending on certain stats, a weapon with DEX A will have a multiplier of 1.8, the higher the DEX stat, the higher the multiplier. A weapon has base damage, but it is increased by stats. Here are the different levels. - S multiplier x2 - A multiplier x1.8 - B multiplier x1.6 - C multiplier x1.4 - D multiplier x1.2 - E multiplier x1 To check your stats and allocate points just use the command /stat To check the list of your skills use /skill **- Inventory and item system -** The inventory in "The World of the Sword" is limited, you will have to deposit items in chests or sell them, because the weight limit will not allow you to carry everything.
